If you’re looking to add more fiber to your diet, the recipe below is a yummy way to start your day.

Fiber moves quickly and relatively easily through your digestive tract and helps it function properly. A high fiber diet may also help reduce the risk of heart disease and diabetes and aids in weight loss.
